With Saturday’s home game against Colyton falling victim to the weather, perhaps it is time to reflect on the humbling that befell Feniton on their first tasting of table topping Exwick Villa’s 3G surface the previous week. A patched up and predominately young Fenny team travelled to Exwick with just 12 players compared with the hosts, whose numbers were swelled by Elmore’s postponement, boasting a full bench of 5 plus extras! After 40 minutes Fenny would have been reasonably happy with proceedings as Oscar Walsh had rifled a shot into the top corner to make the score 1-1. This was after Fenny fell behind on 22 minutes by gifting Villa their opener when Charlie Selley was dispossessed deep inside his own half leaving Johnson to shoot past debutant keeper Danny Parcell. Another glaring error saw Villa go back in front just before the break, this time Ben Price, playing as a makeshift centre-back, mis-controlled the ball on the edge of his own box leaving Howe with the simplest of chances meaning Fenny went in at the interval 2-1 down. They would have still been fairly optimistic however as they had played some neat football during the opening 45 minutes which makes their second half capitulation in conceding seven unanswered goals difficult to fathom out. The most disappointing aspect was that just like the first two Villa goals, individual errors cost Fenny dearly. Villa’s third came on 50 minutes which was almost a carbon copy of their second, this time the unfortunate Price slipping as he was about to clear. Two minutes later Fenny full-back Albert Southall-Brown had the ball whipped away from him eight yards out to give Villa their fourth. The now rampant home side quickly added two further goals and also proceeded to strike the goal frame three times and twice forced Parcell to make point blank saves with his feet when he was confronted one on one. Goals seven and eight quickly followed and Fenny’s misery was compounded when they conceded a last minute penalty which was readily converted. A small consolation for Fenny is that they never gave up and whenever they had possession they always looked to pass the ball around - facts not lost on the hosts. To put the result in perspective and maybe make Fenny feel a little better is that this week Seaton Town were the visitors to Exwick Villa and were beaten 11-0!
